Hi Everyone, Just wanted to ask again real quick if anyone has any idea what the font for the word "Joesph's" is on my photo above. I had no luck finding a match in my fonts. Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!!

Thanks for the response! It's pretty similar to Rage Italic, but the lower case t's in Rage have a longer stroke on the opposite side of the cross. Anyway, this should be close enough for me to modify for a match, thanks!! Any ideas on the other font?

I do a lot of replacement work for a fleet repair company next door, and I usually have decent luck matching up fonts. If I can't ID one sometimes I'll just re-create the specific word needed by hand in Illustrator, but I don't have the luxury of time today. Any help with IDing the following...

Thanks for the response Gino! Yeah, I agree that things like this are definitely under appreciated by most. But I'm still inclined to do a few just for fun anyway. I thought about maybe mounting them on the walls of my showroom too. Any tips that you can share from when you did build...

I've thought about doing this myself, but haven't yet. I have lots of various rigid substrate drops on my shelves. I'm also curious how others have gone about this. My idea so far that I hope to try soon is to gather drops that are close in size and cut them to the same size. So instead of...

Hi All, Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever built any scale models for your sign jobs? I don't mean just samples, but like scale diaramas like what architect might do. I was considering making some for my showroom and was curious...

Hi Guys, I did notice in a few spots on some test pieces that I ran through, where I had jogged it (stopped for a moment and then started again) seemed to to have a strip that looked a little better, so maybe slowing down is the key. Here's my problem with this though: my laminator (38"...

I've attached an photo I took of the results. Seems like even pockets of air throughout. If your eyes aren't at an angle to catch the light you can't tell, but when you ARE, woah-boy is it bad. I think laying flat is more prone to this at 90 degrees as it will be used, so maybe not a big...

Tried different levels of pressure, and also tried runing a heat gun across the roll at the point of lamination, all without any noticeable difference in results. Anyone have any other advice? Thanks. The lam is GF concept 238-30, 12 Mil that I got from Fellers, if that helps.

Thanks for the reply. I am laminating the vinyl first. This is my usual laminating process. I print my vinyl, let it dry overnight, then I run the vinyl through the laminator, trim it, then apply to the sign/vehicle. Vinyl is taught, no problem there. Bubbles are occuring evenly...

Hi everyone, I have a client who needs some signs to be a little extra durable without increasing his budget too much so we decided to go with some extra thick 12Mil vinyl. I haven't worked with this stuff before, I usually use 3.4 Mil calendered laminate. So here's my problem: When I...

Results / Report Back? Hi Doyle, I'm getting ready to approach a similar situation, and wondering how this worked out for you. The cabinet that I will be re-painting is mounted on a 9 foot metal pole, and both the cabinet and pole need to be sanded/repainted. What approach did you end up...

I have a similar issue as the OP sometime, and like the office hours suggestion. I do have hours of operation posted as 9-5, m-f, but since I am the only one here, if i need to run any errands or do a site survey i have to lock up. I am thinking I might also post some "pick up" hours and...

I'll be putting in a post so I'll be using a post hole digger. Certainly don't want to discover a gas line that way.

:Big Laugh Lol, very helpful, thanks :Big Laugh ToasTuk, I like that idea, I'll pass that along to her, good point about half truths too, thanks.

thanks Thanks J Hill, I think she is more worried about when she marks the area for dig safe. I will probably tell her to do that when he isn't around and give her your advice anyway. They are in a small rural town though, so she may also be worried about him going to chat with the...

Hi everyone, I'm putting in a street sign for a friend as a surprise for her husbands 50th birthday. Their home is on its own road which is the same as their last name, but it doesn't have a sign yet. My quesrion is this: I had the wife call dig safe and to mark the area, but she wants to...

You should reassure them I ask my mechanic to explain why my transmission needs to be rebuilt, then I can decide if I trust his assessment or if I think he is full of it and I need to seek another opinion. Sometimes customers just want to be reassured that there is a reasonable explanation as...

Run into this a lot I try to keep the explanation short and simple, I find something along the lines of the following works well enough for most: "there are two ways a computer can store graphics: raster and vector. Raster graphics are just fixed grids of pixels, like a photo. If you...
